The two teams were evenly matched. If anything, I'd say Akron was better with controlling the ball. However, the Blue Jays found at least three creases in the Zips defense that should have led to goals. Only one did, but that's all Creighton needed.

I suggest that fans be slow to criticize coach Caleb Porter. He is still learning about his players. After reading Tom Reed'scolumn about him, I'm convinced he's going to be a winner.
